Shimmer Vasile :: District 1

Audra has medium-length ginger hair. She has quite a clear complexion except from a shock of freckles around her nose. Her eyes are a deep brown colour. Audra is neither skinny nor big but her body is by no means athletic, physical activity is something that Audra dislikes. She stands at 5'10", tall for a grown woman. Audra has a round face shape, average sized eyes and a small nose that curves upwards at the tip.

Audra is not very comfortable within herself so doesn't wear anything outlandish. She does, however, like to look smart most of the time, preferring a skirt over trousers. Also, Audra can almost always be found wearing something the colour green. If she can be bothered, Audra wears her hair in a plait down her back but otherwise she just lets it hang loose. One item she won't be seen without is a silver ring given to her by a past boyfriend.

Audra is very insecure so feels paticulary uncomfortable around strangers. The woman only feels genuinely comfortable around people she knows well enough. Unfortunately for her, the only one that really fits this description for Audra is her brother. Also, she likes to spend quite a bit of time on her own. She constantly worries about others opinions of her and of upsetting or annoying people in some way. This has also meant that she is a quiet person; often going off and reading rather than talking.

She can often be found daydreaming, preferring this to spending time in the real world. Also, Audra is highly intelligent but dislikes showing this off to others. She is constantly thinking deeply and almost philosophically about issues. She also cares deeply about others, especially her own family. She's kind-natured and wouldn't wish any harm on others. A trait that also makes her feel uncomfortable about her brother's role as a Career.

However, Audra is very susceptible to embarrassment and feeling ashamed. Although she'd never tell anyone, she is ashamed of her heritage and their snobbish attitude. Audra, although quiet, is incredibly short-tempered when it comes to someone insulting her family. Generally, she is trusting of others, allowing everyone a chance before making a judgement. Audra makes a loyal friend if someone takes the time to dig beneath her quiet Shimmer exterior and her parent's greatly successful Silk & Sheen Perfumeries business.

Audra is the middle child of Silk and Sheen Vasile. Her parents run a perfurm company together, both enthralled with work and passionate about it. Both practical-minded, her dreamer attitude is frowned upon by her parents and Audra has often felt that she has let her parenst down compared to her other siblings.

Audra's younger brother, Gleam, is a Career. At fifteen years old he is training hard at the career centre and is desparate to one day show off his talent in the Arena. Audra, however, is desperate for this not to happen. Althhough, Gleam is arrogant and uncompassionate, she doesn't ever want to see him kill others...or be killed himself.

Her older sister on the other hand, Audra doesn't worry as much about. Radience, aged twenty-two, us very into the usiness of perfume and her parents are only too happy to allow her to learn more over the years. Her sister is now her father's apprentice; preparing to take over his business when he gets too old. Audra on the other hand, has been told that she will be the assistant manager when she comes of age (and bothers to learn more about the business.) She dislikes her sister partly because of her showing off to their parents, as Audra thinks of it, and partly because she constantly gloats.

However, despite her parents slightly dejected plans for her future, Audra dreams of something completely different. And plans to escape from the Silk & Sheen company as soon as she possibly can.
